Walton may practice next week

Press Enterprise: Luke Walton’s injured back has responded well enough to shooting and rebounding drills the past few weeks that he’s hopeful he can return to practice next week and play again soon afterward.

The reserve forward has missed all but nine games this season as a result of a pinched nerve in his lower back.

“It’s frustrating,” Walton said. “You’ll walk around the house and feel good, but you’ve got to feel a lot better than good to play in this league. To be honest, I could probably go out and play right now, but we’re trying to get it where everything is strong and working together so that once I start playing, I don’t have to deal with any issues.”

We need him back.
Damn, I hope he will play better.

Sasha, Morrison and Farmar just suck right now.

I hope Mitch can create magic here and get rid of someone above soon.

Brian Shaw

nice
our bench needs him back
he is a key part of their offense with his great passing especially in transition. but still I think it would help us a lot if mitch went after tyrus thomas, kirk hinrich, or even nate robinson who have all been put on the trading block as of late because our bench just does not stack up against boston, cleveland, orlando, and denver.

http://LakersNation PWNED

And I thought we eliminated you in the playoffs in style with a blowout, and we beat you at your home. So… whos got the advantage there?

drive-for-16th

TRADE THE BENCH FOR T-MAC.

Smush Walton

Hopefully Luke gets well soon. We can’t trade him while he is injured.

Let’s bundle him with Fartmore and Vujabrick and aquire a decent reserve.

Surprising to say this, but Luke is leading the Lakers in 3P% other than Artest.
